kozzy if these tires were made in Canada or the USA you would not pay the price you did. I'm happy with the Sailun's.

IMO they have been out on the market way too long, and we would be seeing reports of issues if there were any. Again IMO they are the best G rated tire on the market today, they already in the past few years have a better reputation than the Goodyear G614's. Granted the G614's have improved.

I have run the G614's without issue, but to replace them today a person has to spend at least double for them over the Sailun's. Thats ridiculous , they are no better tire, and arguably inferior when reading the reviews.

Basically what you are paying for with the G614's is insurance, heck I don't need to spend more for insurance, I am up to my eyeballs in insurance premiums

I have a Montana High County 353, 2017. I want to change the tires form the 10 ply that it came with to 14 ply. Does anyone know if the wheels on the 2017 are rated for the additional pressure? It's going form 80 lbs to 110 lbs?

I have a Montana High Country 353 2017. I am changing the tires form the 10ply to 14 ply. Does anyone know if the wheels on the 2017 will handle the increase in pressure from 80 lbs to 110 lbs? Appreciate the help

To see what psi rims you have crawl under your trailer and the psi is stamped on the rim. A visual is the only way to be sure.

phillyg · 09-01-2017, 02:01 PM

I would not assume the trailer came with 110psi wheels. You can find the psi rating stamped or embossed on the backside of one of the wheel spokes. If you can't see it, jack one wheel and rotate it till you see it. Last resort is to take off the wheel for a closer inspection.

bshgto · 09-01-2017, 02:22 PM

If you have 6 lugs at 80 psi on the sticker you have 80 PSI rims. If you 8 lugs at 80 PSI on the sticker you might have 110 PSI rims with 80 PSI load range E tires. The only way to find out is to check the stamp on the back of the rims as others have said, use a flashlight. I have the Sailuns, big difference in handling over the 80 PSI tires that came with my High Country.

CaptnJohn · 09-01-2017, 06:30 PM

Take a picture and send it here. That is what I did about the wheels that came on my 2017 High Country.

John,

This wheel is rated for 110pSI

Thank you

I'm getting Sailun to replace my Trailer Kings but won't have it out on the road till November. Curious what kind of difference you experienced in the handling. Did you have them balanced. I don't think my Trailer Kings were balanced from the factory.

I have a HC 6 lug 80 PSI rim. Can't find a rim with 6 lug that will work. Les Schwab said I could run them at 80 PSI. From what others have told me I really don't need a G rated tire. I just like a piece of mind.

Just check the weight of the Sailuns and step on the sidewall. That should convince you. Here is the reply from Sailun when I asked about them when I had a Cougar 5er;

John, thank you for being a Sailun customer. In regards to your inquiry, I am assuming the weight you provided was fully loaded and that you have two axles (4 tires).
The math works out to 3500 lbs./tire. I have attached the load and inflation table for ST tires. You will see that at 80 psi, the tire will carry 3640 lbs./tire. So, you can go as low as 80 psi. If you want to build some safety in, you can run your tires at 85 or 90 psi. The issue with putting too much air is you will find your trailer may “bounce” a little going down the road. You may have to experiment a little to find the optimal pressure.

If you want peace of mind then i would buy the michelin xps ribs. These are the best 10ply tire on the market and are all steel just as the sailun's are. I had a set of these on another trailer and they are every bit as tough as the sailuns and are just as heavy. The only difference i see is the ply rating and of course the michelins are more expensive.

I sure wouldn't discount the Goodyear Endurance, better weight rating then the Michelins, and so far they are getting good reviews. I believe not as expensive.

Just wondering why pay a premium to become a tire tester for GY when Sailun are available in 16".

X2. I would get the Saliuns and set my pressure at 80 and never look back. I don't have them but if I had those rims that is what I would do. When I had SOB with 80# rated rims a few years ago I had so many blow-outs, bubbles, separations...all kinds of tire failures with E rated tires. was advised not to install higher rated tire because of those rims. But if Saliun says it's ok thats what I would do. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

X3. Sailun is a heavy duty tire for a fair price.

I don`t need the G tire either by unit weight, I just know the trailer tracks better with them on especially in corners with dips in the road or when being past by Celmont the renegade truck driver doing 80 MPH. It`s all in the side wall strength of the Sailuns. Just stand on the side wall of each and you`ll feel the difference not to mention the weight of the tire over the other. All the other name brand tires are whoooy compared to cost and service record of these tires.
I run mine at 90 PSI and in real heat they run up to 100 PSI from the use which is more than enough to hold up the camper in any condition.

bshgto · 09-02-2017, 10:28 AM

Sendel Wheels has the 16X6 lug wheel rated at 110 PSI Model#T1566655BM. This is rated at 3200 LBS each. There are other heavy duty 6 lugs wheels out there just have to look.

When I began considering purchasing the Sailuns from them their price per tire was $136.99, since I wasn't ready to buy at the time, I waited about 2 weeks and checked again, the price had gone up to $154.99 each, I didn't buy. Another week passes by and I check again, they're $141.99, I bought them, then I happened to check the price a week later and they were $124.99.

Did they give you a rebate on the price reduction for the tires you bought?
